Silver City Heritage Farmstead
Can't stop now (formerly Dragons Wish Farm)
Need to pick some brains here! While trying to justify the cost difference between a well-bred recognized breeders' horses and a craigslist "gimme" to my non-horse husband, I found a horse from this farm. He's in about the same condition as Scotty on the CMHR website. I'll be going to look at him Monday.
I did a quick search and found Sugar Tree Farm was once active here. They are still active in AMHA, so I called and left a message. I also sent a facebook request to someone who appears to be the current owner in both registries. Fortunately it's the same people for both.
If anyone here is familiar with the Mellons, would you be so kind as to give them a heads up that I'm trying to contact them? You may private message me here for my contact information. You may also drop me an email to Dragons Wish Farm @ yahoo dot com. Yes, take out the spaces and replace the word dot with the symbol. (Darn scammers, spammers and phishers anyway!! LOl)
The lady that currently has him seems to be a pleasant person, he's just too much for their plate right now. I'd be happy to share his registered name and numbers as well as his craigslist photos via pm. If you have access to the studbooks and are willing to do me the favor of a look-up I'd be grateful.
Anyone who'd like to share pictures or experiences with horses of this breeding, please feel free. I always like to know what folks are doing with horses from farms that I have an interest in.
This isn't exactly the farm news update I expected to be posting, however, when my husband challenged me to put my money where my mouth is I had to accept.
I can't very well tout the benefits of geldings, retrained rescues and my personal abilities as a trainer without proving it to him in person. So, next week will prove to be something. If this little guy comes here, it sure will be different from the birthday horse I requested!! LOL
Thanks everyone!
P.S...Marty, I'll be sending you a pm and/or an email to get some advice. It's crazy spooky how similar he looks to Scotty. I expect he'll need the same course of care, so I'll be that much ahead if you'd share what all Scotty needed.
